Hello all, I'm an old Hunter, returning to the fold after a long time. I was a Hunter Pre-BC and it taught me how to play the game, but at the time, Hunters weren't exactly welcomed in groups back then on the EU servers. I ended up multiboxing 5 shaman and played that way for the longest time.

Now I am playing on the US servers and have managed to get my wife interested. She wants to roll a Hunter and I have decided to roll one along with her. The advice I need is on builds, I love the idea of the two of us storming through instances together .. ok .. perhaps not storming, but at least having fun doing them. I've seen that a lot of pet tankers have a lot of fun doing this stuff solo and I figure that it will be doable by two Hunters.

Which setup would best serve our needs? Tank and offtank, or perhaps tank and marksman? She's not that confident a player a the moment, but I'm sure time will make her great, if only to be better than me

BM+MM is probably the best setup with the Trueshot Aura making the BM pet a better tank, but BM+BM is probably the strongest overall. Then you can both tank, and the threat gained from TSA isn't needed for 2 hunters with Feign Death.

On the subject of Druids, while I have played and enjoy playing Druid, the Mrs finds it very confusing. Too much positional play, form switching etc, so she prefers Hunter for that reason. I enjoy Hunter so much, I don't want to give it up

We decided to go with 2 BM Hunters in the end, I use a bear with a nice tanking setup and as the Mrs .. well .. She spawned Echeyakee and stood there say, "Awww, hello kitty, who's a lil cutie etc". When i told her she could tame him, she jumped for joy and hasn't been seen without him since, I ended up using Mangeclaw as my bear, so, as she said, we can match.

Anyway, we are now in Tanaris, level 49 and she's having a ball. I've even managed to get her to take up engineering, it wasn't the fine weapons or headgear that sold it to her though, it was the helicopter and hog! Women!
